Abstract: A four-wheel drive power transfer system (10) is disclosed to include a transfer case (20) having a clutch assembly (42) arranged to control speed differentiation and torque biasing across an interaxle differential (62), sensors (46) for detecting and generating sensor signals indicative of various dynamic and operational characteristics of the vehicle, and a controller (48) for controlling actuation of the clutch assembly (42) in response to the sensor signals. Upon the occurrence of traction loss, the clutch assembly (42) is automatically actuated for limiting interaxle slip while transferring increased drive torque to the non-slipping driveline. Under a preferred adaptive control scheme, the actuated condition of the clutch assembly (42) is controllably modulated between its non-actuated and fully-actuated limits for automatically varying the magnitude of speed differentiation and torque biasing across the interaxle differential (62) in response to changes in the dynamic and operational characteristics of the vehicle. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A Q-switched solid state laser system (24) operates in a pulse processing control system (10) that employs an autopulse mode and a pulse-on-position mode to stabilize the pulse-to-pulse laser energy delivered to a workpiece (20) that is moved by an X-Y positioner (18). In the autopulse mode, laser pulses are emitted at a near maximum PRF, but the pulses are blocked from reaching the workpiece by an external modulator (28, 32), such as an acousto-optic modulator ("AOM") or electro-optic modulator (also referred to as a Pockels cell). In the pulse-on-position mode, the laser emits a pulse in response to the positioner moving to a location on the workpiece that coincides with a commanded coordinate location. The processing control system delivers a stream of coordinate locations, some requiring processing, at a rate that moves the positioner and triggers the laser at about the near maximum PRF. The pulse processing control system sets the AOM to a transmissive state whenever a coordinate location requiring processing is commanded and otherwise sets the AOM to a blocking state. This pulse timing technique provides a nearly constant interpulse period for the laser, thereby improving its pulse-to-pulse energy stability at the near maximum PRF.

Abstract: Methods for preparing a biochip are provided herein wherein the biomolecular probe to be used with the biochip is alternatively bound to a hydrogel prepolymer prior to or simultaneously with polymerization of the prepolymer. In particularly preferred embodiments, a polyurethane-based hydrogel prepolymer is derivatized with an organic solvent soluble biomolecule, such as a peptide nucleic acid probe in aprotic, organic solvent. Following derivatization of the prepolymer, an aqueous solution, for example sodium bicarbonate, preferably buffered to a pH of about 7.2 to about 9.5, is added to the derivatized prepolymer solution to initiate polymerization of the hydrogel. Alternatively, a water soluble biomolecule, such as DNA or other oligonucleotide, is prepared in an aqueous solution and added to the polyurethane-based hydrogel prepolymer such that derivatization and polymerization occur, essentially, simultaneously. While the hydrogel is polymerizing, it is microspotted onto a solid substrate, preferably a silanated glass substrate, to which the hydrogel microdroplet becomes covalently bound. Most preferably the hydrogel microdroplets are at least about 30 mum thick, for example about 50 mum to about 100 mum thick. The resulting biochips are particularly useful for gene discovery, gene characterization, functional gene analysis and related studies.

Abstract: A method for the low temperature joining of similar and/or different phosphate glass by mating at low temperature glass components by an aqueous solution containing phosphorus. In preferred embodiments, the phosphate glasses are polished, cleaned, and brought together with the phosphate-containing solution between the polished surfaces. Vacuum may be applied to assist in making the joint. The composite is optionally heat treated to increase strength, chemical durability, and optical performance. The bond thereby formed has low birefringence, is strong, and is virtually photonically invisible. The joints now make possible, for example, substrates for virtually no loss signal splitters and other high-end optical components at low cost. Large hybrid performs substrates composed of multiple glass components may be prepared and segmented, providing an inexpensive novel substrate for the photonics industry. Active lasing phosphate glasses may be joined by the present invention method to passive non-lasing glasses for use in laser and related applications.
